No way panthers retain also they can’t move hornquist, apparently they promised him that as a condition of him accepting the trade to Florida in the first place

What if he agrees to the deal? Also they clear 2.3M with that trade even with retention and its just for like 3 months

Going to cost the Panthers a lot more than that to dump Hornqvist. Their backs are up against the wall capwise, he has a big cap hit and he isn't even a serviceable 4th line player this season.

Leafs also aren't going to be trading Holl. He was playing as much 5on5 time as Rielly before Rielly's injury and has been the Leafs most used defenseman since. While fans who aren't paying much attention love to throw Holl under the bus, he has the teams trust.

They don’t have enough, teams don’t want to be that close to the cap that they have to play short handed if they have 1 injury

They tried to move him already in the summer and they couldn’t make anything work, clearly he doesn’t want to go

What do you mean they don't have enough? They open up almost enough room to bring back Ducalir with that trade alone lol

179k in cap Space, they can’t recall a single fwd of there is injury

Also they need to clear at least 3m due to how cap is calculated daily.

2.3m is l not the minimal 3m they need

They can play 7 d until they get the emergency call up

It doesn’t work like that and why would they do that if they could

Okay then I guess giving up Duclair for free is better

Didn’t say that, but this trade doesn’t work

I'd have to think the Leafs decline here. Holl is somehow a key contributor and I doubt FLA retains anything.
